SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 3 > BOOK 48: WITNESSES
Volume 3, Book 48, Number 836:
Narrated Abu Wail:
Abdullah (bin Mas'ud) said, "Whoever takes a (false) oath in order to grab some property (un-
justly), Allah will be angry with him when he will meet Him. Allah confirmed that through His Di-
vine Revelation: "Verily! Those who purchase a little gain at the cost of Allah's covenant and their
oaths . . . they will have a painful punishment." (3.77)
Al-Ash'ath bin Qais came to us and asked, 'What is Abu Abdur-Rahman (i.e. 'Abdullah) telling
you? 'We told him what he was narrating to us. He said, 'He was telling the truth; this Divine Verse
was revealed in connection with me. There was a dispute between me and another man about some-
thing and the case was filed before Allah's Apostle who said, 'Produce your two witnesses or else the
defendant is to take an oath.' I said, The defendant will surely take a (false) oath caring for nothing.'
The Prophet said, 'Whoever takes a false oath in order to grab (other's) property, then Allah will be
angry with him when he will meet Him.' Then Allah revealed its confirmation. Al-Ashath then re-
cited the above Divine Verse." (3.77)
Volume 3, Book 48, Number 837:
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
Hilal bin Umaiya accused his wife before the Prophet of committing illegal sexual intercourse
with Sharik bin Sahma.' The Prophet said, "Produce a proof, or else you would get the legal punish-
ment (by being lashed) on your back." Hilal said, "O Allah's Apostle! If anyone of us saw another man
over his wife, would he go to search for a proof." The Prophet went on saying, "Produce a proof or
else you would get the legal punishment (by being lashed) on your back." The Prophet then men-
tioned the narration of Lian (as in the Holy Book). (Surat-al-Nur: 24)
Volume 3, Book 48, Number 838:
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "There are three persons whom Allah will neither talk
to nor look at, nor purify from (the sins), and they will have a painful punishment. (They are):
(1) A man possessed superfluous water on a way and he withheld it from the travelers.
(2) a man who gives a pledge of allegiance to a Muslim ruler and gives it only for worldly gains. If
the ruler gives him what he wants, he remains obedient to It, otherwise he does not abide by it, and
(3) a man bargains with another man after the Asr prayer and the latter takes a false oath in the
Name of Allah) claiming that he has been offered so much for the thing and the former (believes him
and) buys it."
